Forty percent of Zipcar members have told us they either sold their car or decided not to buy a car because of Zipcar. With each Zipcar taking 15-20 personally-owned cars off the road, think of all the good that's doing for the environment and community.

Members also tell us they save over £300 a month using Zipcar! They appreciate the low rates, living without the hassle of car maintenance and that we pay for fuel, parking and insurance. Oh, the fun new cars (over 25 makes and models) don't hurt either.
